It couldn’t be installed
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not happy. I was told it didn’t matter how much space between the stove and microwave, because it was an electric stove. When the geek squad arrived, they came in, measured, said there wasn’t enough room, and off they went.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had to return it, because It was very loud. The door wasn't level. I tried to use Best buy website to return it and get the label to be shipped and didn't work, I had to drive more that 45 miles to return it.

Stopped functioning after only 2 months
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I only had this microwave for two months and it completely stopped functioning. It does not turn on at all and there is nothing wrong with the power outlet. Now I find out that the returnable date was two days ago. What a waste of money.

||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Horrible. I’d never recommend this product. Apparently it was the fan that was a mess. Customer service helped me pick out a similar one, 1.6. that’s fine.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this about a year and a half ago and don’t use it everyday and the handle broke off!!!

Bought and returned it
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When you turn on the exhaust fan, it had an unbearable whistling sound. We were told by the installer that they all did that. I said, nope! We were also told that one from another manufacturer would be quieter so we bought the LG. Our rating is already posted for that unit.

worthless product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worthless product! Had for just over 2 years and it quit working. A lot of money for only 2 years worth. Called Geek Squad and they are unwilling to help figure out what needs to be done to get it working.

Loudest Ever Microwave/Vent
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very loud and high pitched fan. By loud I mean really really loud. Louder than any other vent fan I've heard. And it comes on whenever you microwave. I'd stay away from this one.
